Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has identified Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers as a top target to replace Nuno Espirito Santo, with the Portuguese coach expected to be dismissed next week. Tensions between Marinakis and Nuno have reached breaking point, leaving Rodgers as the frontrunner to take charge at the City Ground, despite previous links with Jose Mourinho.
Scottish champions Celtic have joined Fulham and Atalanta in the race to sign out-of-favour Liverpool star Federico Chiesa. The Italian winger has been linked with a move away from the Anfield this summer in order to get more game time. Celtic are monitoring the situation of Chiesa at the Reds and could place a loan bid for the Italy international.
